OVER 100 YRS  AGO CLEANED UP

A GOOD BACKGROUND -  MAKES THE PICTURE

I will start with the first two pictures of both ships that I worked on. It says port Elizabeth Union of South Africa– the African moon in the foreground and in the background is the African Dawn. Here's a picture of the African Dawn. Then African moon, I worked in the engine room on the African moon==on the African Dawn I was an ordinary deckhand at night time I would be on watch at the bow of the ship . The African Dawn  50 years ago was a new ship. Now I look at the African Dawn some 50 years later and found these pictures when she was beautiful and proud sailing the ocean .  These pictures show the last days being stripped down for scrap metal. Hard to believe that I outlived both the ships.
